Alzheimer's Tea Party: Costa del Sol Gives Back! What Happens Next Will Warm Your Heart!

Ginare Collaboraid, that tireless volunteer group we've covered before for their impressive countryside clean-ups and fitness initiatives, are back at it again. This time, they're turning their attention to a cause that resonates deeply within the expat community along the Costa del Sol: Alzheimer's and dementia care.

Alzheimer's Tea Party: Costa del Sol Gives Back! W...

They're hosting a pre-Christmas "English Tea" party to benefit the Alzheimer’s Dementia Support Group Mijas Costa. Honestly, what's more British than tea and cake for a good cause? It's happening on Wednesday, December 10th, from 11 am at the Alhaurin Golf Clubhouse. Imagine, escaping the pre-holiday madness for a few hours of sunshine, good company, and some seriously delicious treats.

And when I say treats, I mean it. Attendees can expect unlimited tea and coffee, a classic Victoria sponge cake, and those quintessential British staples: freshly baked scones with jam and clotted cream. All of this culinary goodness is being generously provided by Sasha's Bakery, a local gem I've personally frequented and can vouch for their baking prowess. These guys know how to deliver on flavour, and it’s for a great cause!

Tickets are a mere €15 per person, and here's the kicker: that includes a copy of the Support Group’s 2025 Christmas fundraising calendar. Now, that calendar alone sells separately for €15, so you're practically getting the tea party for free! The best part? All proceeds go directly to supporting local individuals living with Alzheimer’s and dementia, as well as their invaluable caregivers. It’s a win-win.

The calendar itself is something special. It's already getting rave reviews for its cheerful design and practical layout. Trust me, I've seen some pretty dreary charity calendars in my time, but this one actually looks like something you'd want to hang on your wall. And all the profits stay right here in Mijas Costa, Fuengirola, Benalmadena, and surrounding areas, funding essential activities for those who need them most.

But what if you can't make the tea party? Don't worry, Sasha's Bakery has you covered. They're offering English Tea Party Boxes for €25. Inside each box, you'll find six large slices of Victoria sponge, six scones, jam, and cream. Perfect for sharing (or not!), or as a thoughtful pre-Christmas gift for someone special. You can collect the boxes at the event or arrange alternative pickup. It’s a great way to support the cause even if your schedule is packed.

It’s truly heartwarming to see groups like Ginare Collaboraid stepping up and making a tangible difference in our community. And what better way to do it than with a quintessentially British tradition, a good cup of tea, and a slice (or six!) of cake? Don't miss out!
